REAL TALK. How to be A Good Bridesmaid

We all know that being a bridesmaid is a blessing AND a curse. Buying a dress that 1. you don’t like and 2. UGH that price tag though! We all know that sometimes being asked to be in a wedding is extremely frustrating. However, when your best friend asks you to be in her wedding it’s hard to not feel honored! She loves you and wants you by her side for the most important day of her life.

Please be seated class!

  1. Remember that she might be stressed out, and don’t take it personal. She may be stressed because everyone is in her ear telling her what she should do. Ask her if she needs help and most likely she will need it, but might not want to ask. You may not care about all the details, but she does! A good friend will shut up about her wanting paper flowers instead of real ones and help her make “said” paper flowers.

  1. She will change her mind at least a dozen times. I am SOOO guilty of this. In this day and age with pinterest, instagram, wedding blogs, and facebook it’s very hard to not second guess your choices. It may be annoying, but she is just trying to make sure everything is perfect. So don’t be mad when she changes her mind about wanting real flowers instead of making them. :p

  1. GET MEASURED AT A BRIDAL SHOP. Okay so I am biased, so what? :p Real talk though, this is EXTREMELY important. Don’t want to stress out the bride? Get your butt to a bridal salon and get yourself professionally measured. The results? Your dress fitting! *Fireworks* No stressed out bride. A+

  1. Remember Alterations are almost always needed. These dresses are not made to your measurements. Ever. You WILL need alterations. Even if you can go to Macy’s and pick out a dress and have it fit you like a glove, you magical unicorn you.  Alterations are most likely needed. The bust especially is where almost everyone needs taken in. Even the biggest of boobs need to be taken in!

  1. Deal with the dress. Not everyone has the same taste as you, and if your bride thinks that camo and baby blue go great together, then girl so do you! It is not your day, so just deal with the dress. It boils down to the fact that you will only have to wear that dress for a few hours, and never have to wear it or see that dress again. What is a few hours in exchange for a happy best friend?

  1. Don’t let drama get the best of you. Don’t be upset that she choose Suzy instead of you for maid of honor. The truth is that choosing a maid of honor is the hardest part for a bride. She doesn’t want hurt feelings or to make anyone upset! She asked you to be a bridesmaid, that means you are important enough to her to be standing by her side on the most important day of her life.

  1. Attend Bridal Events. Make sure you make it to the shower, bachlorette party, and rehearsal. It is your duty as a bridesmaid to be in attendance to each and every one of these events. No excuses. End of story.  Bonus points for attending the dress fitting and flower meeting.

  1. Finally, enjoy the day with your bestfriend! Take the time to have fun with her! Take pictures with her, dance with her and make sure you enjoy yourself. Have a drink, you deserve it!
